B&W Microstripe CRB, Run For Your Life, Coordinating Make Davie Run Crazy and More

New Black and White Microstripe CRB. The website model photo shows a dark seam up the side but I think that is stitching and not bonding. Shown with a Heathered Paris Pink Flow Y underneath. The Malibu Showroom got the Paris Pink stuff in so it's starting to arrive in LA - yay!

Run: Your Heart Out Tank and Tights

Run: Your Heart Out Tights Ankle Detail

Based on how the pleats are falling and how the tank fits at the hips I'd recommend going a size up but she may have chosen it to fit snugger at the bust for more support.

More Run: Your Heart Out Tank photos. The tank has finally arrived at my local store but I don't think I will have a chance to visit this weekend. The black hides the bust seams the best. Anyone have a chance to try it on yet? The more photos I see the more I think I can live without this and save my dollars for Paris Pink things.

Close up of the Make Davie Run Crazy Print

Some ideas as to what to pair with the Currant/Make Dave Run Crazy Print. These photos happen to use the Speed Shorts.The top photo is the new Bonded CRB in Pigment Blue/Black. I thought that was an interesting pairing. I think you'd have to see them together up close to see how well they coordinate. The second photo has a Heathered Smokey Rose CRB. I like that combo, from a distance anyway. The bottom is a reliable black Run: For It Pullover. I love how the bag plays off the shorts in the pic.

A few more photos of the new Cuddle Up pants.

A nice close up of the Glacier Lace black and white print panel. Lulu traditionally comes out with a black and white print for the holiday season. Last year it was Black Roses. Ikat came out soon after. The year before that it was Lithograph Iris. I am curious to see the Glacier Lace print on a tank.

A couple more photos of the Purple Ombre Stripe Scuba. The side by side of the Purple and Pink Striped Scubas is interesting.

I haven't really loved how bright the Heathered Paris Pink Define has looked in photos but I like it in this photo. Maybe it's better in smaller doses. I think I'd like a CRB in this color.

I've been looking for a photo that truly captures the color of the Heathered Currant Power Y. It definitely looks oranger than solid Currant but it comes up too orange in a lot of photos. I think this photo is the most realistic of how this color looks in real life.

Another photo of the new Run: For It Fleece Tights. This is the Paris Pink version.

MEC (Canada Only) has some great fleece running tights for 49$. I find them more attractive than what LLL is offering this year. The MEC ones also have venting behind the knees and more flattering lines (especially the reflective strips).

I tried on the Run Your Heart Out tank. It's very nice and comfortable. Not sure it would be super-supportive for more well-endowed ladies (I'm small-chested, so not an expert). Even with the pleats, the silverscent body is not loose and billowy. Really considering getting the Currant if it doesn't come out in any other colors...

I have the Define jacket in Currant, and love it. I tried on the Power Y tank in the heathered currant, and it just washed me out. In some light it looked orangish, and in others, pinkish. It's a nice enough color, but just a little too washed out for pale winter people like me!

I bought the purple striped scuba yesterday in my usual size without trying it on. Tried it on today, and its snug. Thinking I should have sized up. For $128 you'd think that lululemon would have consistent sizing on a core product. This is a try before you buy item.

I tried on the Run: Your Heart Out Tank. Not a fan. I hate the seaming at the bust and as a well endowed lady (36DD) I can vouch for the fact that this is NOT a medium-high support tank in the slighest. I jumped up and down in it and all I can say is OUCH!!

Agreed about the color on the heathered currant Power Y. The picture in this post is very true to the actual color. I tried this on in the Irvine store this weekend and it was not for me (olive skin, dark hair), I ended up getting the heathered smokey rose CRB instead.

About Me

For 18 years I was an electrical engineer working in communications satellite system engineering. I've worked at Boeing, Booz, Allen & Hamilton, and General Electric. For the past ten years I've been a stay at home mom who keeps busy volunteering in my community and chauffeuring my three children to their activities. I live in Orange County, California.

The inaugural Sea Wheeze inspired me to take up running two years ago. I have completed ten half marathons and have three more scheduled for 2015. I mostly run these days but also go to the gym ~3-4 days a week for spin class, weight lifting, and cardio.

I discovered Lululemon six years ago and really liked the fit and performance of the clothes. I do check out other brands so if you would like me to review your product please contact me.
